I had something strange happen involving Henderson the Rain King and the Counting Crows song.

August and Everything After by the Counting Crows had beern released for a while, and i had heard Mr. Jones, A Murder of One and 'Round Here on the radio enough to want to buy the album. So I did. Somehow i had missed hearing Rain King on the radio.

I also liked Saul Bellow and a copy of Henderson came along, so I was almost finished with it the day i bought August.

I turned the last page in the book the very second Rain King began to play.
